How to Run an Event
From HacDC Wiki
Note: non-public events are strongly discouraged at HacDC.
- Have an idea for an event. :)
- Plan where and how to present your content.
- The lab space (capacity: x people)
- Is there a working projector in the space?
- There are a couple of whiteboards you can use.
- The auditorium (capacity: y people)
- The sanctuary (capacity: z people)
- The lab space (capacity: x people)
- Assemble any necessary parts.
- Use the Church's calendar, if applicable, and Event Calendar to schedule a date and time. Please try not to overlap with other HacDC events. Also, please try to give potential participants at least a week's notice.
- Add the event description, including date and time and anything participants should bring, to Category:Classes.
- Publicize!
- Send an e-mail to HacDC's announce@ (public) and members-announce@ (members-only) mailing lists and possibly to Friends of HacDC.
- Blog it.
- Consider notifying other groups whose members might be interested. One place to check is this list of DC-area geeky groups.
- Get it listed on DC Tech Events. (If our event calendar isn't automatically pulled in by that site...)
- Run the event. Share your knowledge. Have fun. Take some pictures.
- How did it go? Blog it! Have suggestions for next time? Add them here!
